Core sampling is enabled over a wide range of areas of the seabed. The present device is provided with a main robot that is moved underwater by remote operation, and a sampling robot that is connected to a manipulator that is attached to the main robot, and that can move in relation to the seabed. The sampling robot is provided with a core tube for excavating the seabed by being rotated and propelled, introducing into the core tube a core of the seabed by the excavation, and breaking the introduced core into core pieces. The main robot is provided with a core rack for storing the core pieces taken from inside the core tube.
